Cristiano Ronaldo has been at the forefront of a lot of comebacks in the game of football. From his hat-trick against Wolfsburg in the UCL semifinal to overcoming a 2-0 deficit against Atletico Madrid while playing for Juventus, Ronaldo has done it all. The Portuguese was devastated after the loss of his unborn child while he was in his second stint at Manchester United, which saw his performances hit an all-time low.

However, Ronaldo rose above all and is now chasing the 1000-goal mark, which would be a historic feat if achieved. The Portuguese forward has proved time and again that anything can be overcome; you just need to have the right mentality.
